LOVE KNOWS.

How can a lover plan and work
From early dawn - late at night;
Miss all the jocund joys OF youth,
And still his heart be sweet and lightf
Because towards some fair, dear girl
His soul in fond affection flows;
And so. how labor may be rest,
Love knows Love knows!
How can a maid with beauty crown'd
Heed not, though lovers round her throng!
And sit and muse with her own heart.
Far happier than in dance song:
Because some well-loyed youth
Her deepest, dearest nature draws
And so, how solitude is sweet,
Love knows Love knows.
How can a mothepkeep a watch
Through tireless days of patient love;
With hands uDweary in the work,
And heart still lifted up above.
Because some little one has need,
The mother-Ioye still fonder CLOVIS;
And how her WEAKNESS is strength
Love knows! Love knows
How can father still forgive
An erring sou, again. again,
Believe in every fresh regret,
And find some sweetness in his painf
What is this miracle OF strength
From patient fatherhood that flows
Towards the crring prodigal.
Love knows. Love knowsl
So many secrets hath the heart;
So much To do; so much 10 bear:
And every heart the question solves
OF its OWE duty, its own care.
Here wisdom may be Ignorance.
And justice wrong affections cause;
But how tn win where all else fails,

DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT2
A Burning Question Answered in the Al
frmative by a State that Knows.

Burning Question Answered in the Al
ffrmative by a State that Knows.
The Chicago Daily Ne,cs says: From
one end of the country to the other peo
pie are asking the question, "Does pro-
hibition prohibit" For the purpose of
learning the experience of Kansas upon
the subject a letter was recently ad-
dressed by the Daily Ne,os to every Pro-
bate Judge in that state asking the fol-
lowing questions
Glow does the number of saloons iu
your vicinity and the amount OF bever-
ages sold at this time compare with the
number OF saloons and the sales prior to
the adoption of prohibition measures?
What is the state of crime, particularly
that class of otfenses which grow directly
out of the use of alcoholic beverages as
compared with tie period preceding pro-
hibition in Kansas?
This information was sought from the
Probate Judges for the reason that these
officials are directly concerned with the
administration of the prohibition law,
and in consequence have exceptional OPP
portunity for arriving at intelligent and
definite conclusions, while from the ma
ture of their offices, aud the considera-
tons influencing tneir election, they may
be regarded as rejecting the prevailing
sentiment of their individual counties,
Replies have been received from forty
nine of these. or from moro than one
half of the entire number. The replies
show that the questions asked by the
people is answered overwhelmingly in
the affirmative. Only five COUNTIES
Sheridan, Ford. Clark. Republic and
Harper-pronounce the law unqualifiedly
a failure; in Kugman it is frankly ad-
mitted that the law is mot enforced;
in Rush. Trego Riley and Clay, although
| the replies are rather in the nature of
opinions, as are almost all of those above
entioned-instead OF statement of OBJ
served fact they are rather favorable
than otherwise. With these exceptions
the answers show decrease in the use
| of intoxicating drinks in Kansas ranging
| from so to IS per cent, aud in crimes
and offenses growing directly out of the
use of such drinks decrease of from 80
to 60 per cent. 1t is worth noticing that
